Harare — A 50-year-old Mushumbi Pools man was attacked and killed by a crocodile while watering his garden along the banks of Hunyani River.
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Michael Munyikwa confirmed the incident, which he said occurred on March 27. Bhaureni Muropa, of Kakono village under Chief Chitsuno, had been accompanied to the garden by his wife Ms Deria Nyanhamba (54).
Insp Munyikwa said Muropa's wife was not nearby when the incident occurred but later realised that her husband had been taken away by a crocodile. She then rushed to inform other villagers who reported the matter at Mushumbi Police Station.
Police attended the scene but the body is yet to be found.
